Thanks, they are all really tame and come running over when I go out, they are that tame my wife us a childminder so that's a morning routine with the children, let them
Out, fresh water, feed out and collect eggs, the children love it!

Really quiet, lovely colour when when the sun shines on her she really is a lovely colour! but yeah she seems the quiet one compared to the other birds but comes running over with the rest of the birds when I come out with the corn!
All of my hybrids I can hold and stroke but too be honest the blue lets you pick her up more than the others! Holding her and stoking the back of her neck while she is making a soft whining noise lol

I do think they are so pretty. I will investigate them when the time comes to buy them. I guess they all have their own personalities and it's just a case of going to watch and see which birds seem friendly. Thanks for that

I have completely change rebuilt and my friend owns a timber unit where he builds coops, gates and sheds and he built my coop and I painted it and creosoted the inside
Somebody in here who can't remember who said no doubt you will add to your flock and they was not wrong now I have 7 hens! And a complete new setup..

Lovely coop,do they get out to free range at all ?
If not feeding some greens will increase the quality of the eggs,especially the yolks,dandilions,docks,clover grass cut up with a scissors and hanging the odd head of cabbage for them to peck will relieve the bordom of being on bare ground.

Bunches of nettles tied and hung up go down well and contain plenty of iron,kateds list
Is good.
I,m not a fan of feeding lettuce, it can give them the squits and thy can dehydrate epecially in hot weather.
